The Inventor: Internationally recognized inventor Alvin A. Snaper holdsseveral hundred patents, including the IBM Selectric Ball, an Apollo photo instrument for NASA, landing gear for Boeing, a Fluidic computer for Singer, a Fluidic Missile System for Rocketdyne, an electrostatic paint process for General Motors and now, the Power Technology Battery. The Past: Over the past three years, Mr. Snaper has been developing a battery to replace the environmentally lead acid battery used in most automobiles, trains, airplanes and marine craft, and to power electric vehicles more effectively. To succeed in the electric vehicle market, a battery needs lighter components and substantially increased power densities so the electric vehicle can compete with the internal combustion engine in performance and cost. Batteries, a major component of the electric vehicle, are typically subject to low efficiencies and are an environmental hazard (they contain lead and acid). However, Mr. Snaper and his team have developed a superior battery with a unique electrode structure, made of a nontoxic alloy, which increases the electrochemically active surface area within the battery 1000 times and is light weight, produces more charge and recharges very quickly. This technology also utilizes a safe, nontoxic electrolyte in place of acid. The Present: Power Technology, Inc. has applied for patent protection for the battery and has received the pending number. Meetings with commercial battery producers are slated during the summer of 2000 and first and second quarters of 2001 to demonstrate the product and discuss options for commercial production. The Advantage: While Power Technology, Inc. is initially seeking to deliver an updated battery for the electric car, its unique product can immediately be adapted to the existing battery market place. The Power Technology battery can be used in boats, ships, and airplanes to reduce weight and increase power. In automobiles, the toxic lead acid battery can be eliminated. The Future: Power Technology, Inc. will form industry alliances with commercial battery manufacturers to deliver its battery to the marketplace efficiently, without the cost of developing its own factories and marketing connections. Power Technology, Inc. will organize alliances with producers of electric vehicles, aircraft, water craft, trains and heavy trucks to test this product in all types of conditions and prove its superiority to industry and the public. There is also a tremendous market application for bicycles. Power Technology, Inc. will work to deliver this and other environmentally friendly products to the market place. Other products in development include a new air conditioner unit for automobiles that eliminates the use of freon, and an alloy sensor that generates its own voltage continuously. The Company is conducting research and development on its patented alloy sensor technology. The proprietary alloy gives off a small (1.5v) electrical charge when it comes in contact with moisture. The Company has been developing this technology for use as a permanently installed water detection device to check for the presence of water in storage tanks, fuel tanks and other systems. The alloy sensor can be mounted on a valve socket, along with a meter. A plug inserted into the valve permits quick and easy meter readings. This technology also has applications in the roofing and marine industries and hydro applications, and it can be used as a low-voltage battery. Patents are our future. Power Technology, Inc. through the sale of licences for the use of its technologies, will establish a highly efficient, financially sound, commercially viable corporation that will work for the benefit of its shareholders. BATTERY INNOVATION by POWER TECHNOLOGY, INC. Power Technology�s years of research and development have produced a revolutionary internal battery structure which, when coupled with the correct application of nickel and iron, will: 1. Require one-half (1/2) the size of a lead-acid battery to produce an equal number of watt hours; 2. Require one-half (1/2) the charging time of a lead-acid battery to produce an equal number of watt hours; 3. Weigh less than one-half (1/2) the weight of a comparably sized lead acid battery; 4. Have two to two and one-half (2-2.5) times the power density of a comparably sized lead-acid battery (50-70 watt hours per Kg versus 20-35 lead-acid); 5. Be adaptable to varied dimensions and configurations for use in electric bicycles, automobiles and a range of other applications; 6. Have a life of two to three times that of a lead-acid battery; 7. Be capable of accepting low level ultrasonic vibration to enhance conductivity, whereas solid plate lead-acid batteries typically cannot; 8. Not require thermal management packages for high-output uses such as electric vehicles; 9. Cost approximately the same to produce as a lead-acid battery; 10. Retail for ten to twenty percent (10-20%) more than their lead-acid counterpart, while providing double the range and longevity; and 11. Improve the use, ease and efficiency of any battery powered product. By using specially formulated reticulated foam plates and metallic pastes. Previously, foam plating developed by competitors has proven too weak to support the battery�s internal structure. Power Technology has solved the problem and applied for a patent on the invention. Who is Power Technology? Power Technology, Inc. (PWTC) is an SEC registered, reporting compliant technology company based in Nevada with an R&D department whose members have a 30+ year history of developing numerous patented inventions for practical commercial, industrial and government use. Power Technology has previously patented a unique alloy sensor, which produces an electric charge on contact with water. The company has also patented a Magnetic Pulse Pipeline joining single stage welding process for joining large oil and gas pipelines. How could Power Technology have developed this product? Alvin A. Snaper, whose well-known inventions include the IBM Selectric Ball, Tang, the NASA Apollo Photo-Pack, and a line of industrial hard coatings used by companies such as Gillette, Boeing, TRW, Vermont-American and many others, is Power Technology�s vice-president of development and project coordinator for the new battery technology. Mr. Snaper has been engaged in scientific research for over thirty years and has developed approximately 600 U.S. and foreign patents. The creation and acceptance of industrial hard coatings led him to design and modify the new Power Technology battery. Benefit to Electric Vehicles: The typical E-Bike 2x12 sealed lead-acid battery pack can be replaced by one that is half the size and weight with no loss of capacity. For example, a utility size Exide 12 volt battery weights 23 pounds, while the Power Technology battery weights only 7 pounds. By utilizing a 2x12 Power Technology battery pack, the E-Bike�s range on a single 110 volt charge will increase as a result of the 32 pound reduction in weight with no additional cost to produce over the lead-acid model. The battery can be advertised as environmentally friendly due to the elimination of acid as a component. An extended battery warranty can be included at no additional cost. Benefit to the Electric Vehicle Industry: Vehicle weight coupled with limited driving range are two of the major problems the EV industry has faced. A Saturn EV-1 lead-acid or nickel-metal hydride battery pack weights approximately 1,175 pounds, more than 35% of the vehicle�s 2970 pound curb weight. The nickel-metal hydride battery pack costs substantially more to produce than lead-acid pack resulting in the nickel-metal hydride equipped Saturn retailing for $43,995, some $10,000 more than the $33,995 lead-acid pack model. The next generation propulsion system due for the EV-1 late next year will substantially reduce the weight of the electric motor and related parts resulting in greater driving range between battery charges. Reduction of battery weight would enhance the driving range even further. The Power Technology battery would: 1. Reduce Saturn�s vehicle weight by almost 600 pounds, increase driving range by 100% over lead-acid and 50% over nickel-metal hydride packs; 2. Eliminate the need for a thermal management system thereby reducing manufacturing cost and weight, and 3. Be produced for substantially less than nickel-metal hydride, resulting in more consumer friendly pricing of the Electric Vehicle. The International Forecaster holds options in this Company.
